You need to find out the cause before you can decide what to do about it. Can she tell you why she is waking up? Is she having a nightmare? Does she hurt anywhere? Is she breathing normally? Does she eat anything very close to bedtime?

I worked in a sleep research center for 5 years. One of the top centers in the world. I would recommend that you consult with a pediatric sleep center first then determine if your child should have a sleep study to find out why she is having so many disruptions in her sleep. Do you have an animal that perhaps is waking her up? Many times if a parent allows a child to sleep with a pet it causes fragmented sleep.Researchers are finding out that sleep deprivation can cause problematic behavior in young children that have fragmented sleep.

My little boy went through a stage like this. I found he was waking me at the same time each night and because i was making a fuss of him it became a routine. When he went to sleep it was light but upon waking it was dark and he has never liked darkness, so we got him a little night light and if he woke up we would simply tuck him back in to bed and not make a fuss of him as before. He is now sleeping through the night again.
